Lol it's annoying 😊😎

What

The same thing in the UK depending if its barriers without skirts. If its no skirts, they might go like 27 seconds before the train arrives, and if it has skirts, it might come quite a few minutes before the train.

The drivers: "Mejor. Día. Nunca..."

Yeah it did. I was not expecting the crossing to activate so early

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel do you go all around the world to just record railway crossings? If you do that is awesome.

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel is this railway crossing Spanish?

Lol Thanks 😎 The train did take ages to show up 😐

One of the level crossings in Slovakia near Bratislava: takes 6 to 10 seconds from when the barriers have closed to the train approaching Edit: I found a video of a Slovakian crossing where the barriers hadn't even lowered before the train passed

Thanks. I was not expecting the train to take so long to cross here. I think the activation sensors are *before* the Figueres Railway Station to allow the level crossing to lower in time for non-stop trains. For trains stopping at the station however, the crossing goes down really early. A couple of people did cross when the crossing was down but then this is Spain, so no-one really cares that much lol

They should have it time out after a few minutes then, with the crossing activating again should a train get closer after it has timed out.

Well, i was before wanting the level crossings in the UK to go faster because i was tired of having to wait for the train (i was just watching a lot of level crossing videos not living in the UK)

It was cool, yes.

*DONG DONG DONG*

Nice 😉

Thanks Daniel :)

THAT'S AWSOME DUDE

Yeah. No-one seems to care here. Whilst waiting for this crossing to activate, a woman about 500 yards along the track from the crossing, a woman just crossed the railway line in flip flops where there's no pedestrian crossing. There is no safety fences here which, in a way, encourages people just to cross the line.

What?? Is trespassing OK in Spain?!

I haven't been to Spain before.

Ok

Daniel GN Trains öööööttupöin.

Yes. Figueres station is before this crossing and it appears the train was stationery for at least 5-6 minutes before departing.

There are several different types of solution. A timeout system could be installed with a second set of sensors between the station and the level crossing. If the train doesn't hit both sensors in the correct order in a certain amount of time, the crossing shuts off until the near sensors are activated. Or, the North American practice of a crossing predictor could be implemented, which "hears" trains on the rails and knows exactly how far away they are and exactly how fast they're moving.

@@jovetj Or the train engineer can type in a code in the radio to remotely activate the crossing when it's leaving the station so that traffic doesn't have to wait too long for a train to pass. It does that all the time in Massachusetts. These foreign crossings are so poorly timed.

*@Save The F40PH* Europe does not really have "crossings" like the United States does... both in terms of quantity, design, mission, or technology. Europe would never go for DTMF code control on a radio, because they rely on human behavior which is flawed. Europe is trending more towards PTC-like fully-automatic activation. Like PTC in the United States, that technology is striving to become smarter all the time. However, Europe is a lot smaller/less rail'd than the United States, so it's easier to deploy such grandiose technologies there. Crossings such as this one are timed the way they are because the signal system is interfaced to the level crossing controls. The level crossing has to close far before the train arrives so that the train continues to receive the best signals (and maintain the best speed) that it can. Another argument for it is that, if a situation arises at the crossing, there is a better chance at having enough time to notify the railway and avert disaster.

Spanish train driver here. Rail crossings in Spain become protected, that's the technical term, for 10 minutes, after which it becomes unprotected again if the train hasn't passed it yet. Trains are usually expected to cross between 30 seconds and 2 minutes after the protection process has completed. A special light signal with 3 possible aspects is presented to the train driver at braking distance of the level crossing, informing him of its state in advance, including if there are any stuck vehicles thanks to pressure detectors, so that he may proceed at normal speed or slow down to a stop in time. While I don't know the specifics of this case, 9 minutes is very extraordinary. Railway code states that under normal circumstances, after passing the rail crossing light signal, should a train driver slow down to under 40 km/h or make a commercial stop for over 2 minutes, the level crossing(s) ahead must be considered unprotected, requiring the train driver to stop and apply a special protocol for passing it safely. If that's the case in this video, either the crossing is interlocked with Figueres station and the commercial stop took longer than normal, or the driver failed to apply the special protocol I mentioned which is incredibly reckless and certainly believe it's not what happened. Spanish rail crossings are incredibly safe compared to those found in most other countries, certainly those outside of Europe, if this one stayed closed for nine minutes: 1. it isn't common and 2. there must be a really good reason for it.

It toasted mine too haha

Wow, is that in America with the long freight trains?

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel nah.I find it common in the eastern part of europe(and im from there). Oh and about freight trains, they keep the barrier closed for another 3 minutes as they are slow and long. And the barriers are operated manually by a member of staff.

Ah yeah

Yes they do when trains pass 😉

@@Kanal7Indonesia In Spanish: 'Atención no pase', in Catalan: 'Atenció no passeu'. Very similar languages ;)

@@mariolopeznavarro1057 ah, good to know :)

@@mariolopeznavarro1057 😂😂

Thanks! 😃 These crossings in Spain are a bit different to how US Railroad crossings work I imagine. It seems once a train triggers a crossing, the crossing doesn't raise until it knows a train has passed.

In the US, the crossing activates about 1 minutes to 45 seconds before a train passes. Reason being, a crossing being down like, 9 minutes, can create problematic traffic jams

In Sweden, the station level crossings are programmed to open if a train is stopped at the station and then close right before departure

Common Spanish rail crossings become unprotected again after 10 minutes. Being relatively scarce in Spain, relegated mostly to a low-traffic countryside context, it's a good balance between safety and disrupting what little traffic there is. It's very rare to find rail crossings in sizeable urban areas, so no traffic jams are caused.

Nice 👍 There's not been much footage of Portuguese crossings

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel then I'll be one of the first 😂

I think the sensors have been put far back is in case of non-stopping trains. If the sensor was after the station, the level crossing here would not have a safe amount of time to lower for a non-stopping train (such as a freight train).

It's interesting to me how this would never be tolerated in Canada or the United Sates, and they employ a much more sophisticated detection system than Britain (and apparently Spain) use.

Hehe :)

Yeah, that's because I wasn't expecting the crossing to activate so early lol

👍

I did jump as I didn't expect the crossing to activate so early

Many people just ignore this and cross anyway :/

UK Level Crossings Channel wow those people get to unpasant

@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel if I ever go to that crossing, no offense but I’m doing the same. If the train comes by for like, 3 minutes the sure but not if it’s like a mile out and the crossing goes down for 9 minutes. I got places to be 🕺🏽

The train had to stop at the station before it went over the level crossing

Yea, that was me. Didn't expect the crossing to activate early.

It’s loud also it kinda scared me too

Oui, ils sont très bruyants. Il y a très peu de vidéos de passage à niveau en espagnol. Ils sont vraiment intéressants.

Level Crossings Railway Channel ce sont de super modèle la France devrais avoir les mêmes mais avec une autre sonnerie. J'dis ça mais ce d'Angleterre sont pas mal aussi.

Oui. Au cours des prochaines années, je prévois de parcourir l'Europe pour visiter les passages à niveau dans différents pays. Je veux filmer plus de passages à niveau français. J'ai aimé filmer les passages à niveau en Espagne.

Planning to next summer ☺️

UK Level Crossings Channel Not happening anymore, I presume?

No, plans changed unfortunately, and I now don't know when I'm next going to France. Hopefully next year now but no idea if it will just be a day or a holiday.

I’m all about safety and what not, but I’m not gonna wait at a loud crossing for 9 minutes, just for a 3 car train to pass

Yeah, I thought 9 minutes was a bit too long, and could partly understand why most people ignore the red lights at crossings in Spain
